I have had most of the stuff i'm setting on for 20 to 30 years. Too much
stuff and no work.
Don't ever, EVER take out a credit consolidation loan. I owned this
place 15 years ago when everything was roses.
Took it to use the mortgage tax write off.

Why not just, well you know, have a Kaypro?
(what a concept!)

Hi,
That's pretty depressing. I have a kaypro II setting here. I knew it
wasn't worth much, but $40 bucks isn't worth the time to pack it.
I think I could get more tearing it down and selling the drives and
other CPU bits.
Ugh!.

it past 100
personally but that's all dependent on your desire and disposable
income. Its less common to find them with software although images can
be found here and there. If it had full boxed manuals and software you
could consider a little more but unfortunately they're fairly common
systems still.

Subject: Kaypro II
A fellow has a Kaypro II here he wants an offer on. There are manuals
and a modem, cables, works, floppies and high expectations.
Any idea what to offer him?
I see numbers from 50 to 600 on epay, but figure this is a the low end.
He was asking 400, and is possibly the first owner. If I find out it
is an estate sell out I can probably handle it, but if it is an
original
owner, I figure i should have a good idea what to offer with some
backing.
any discussion appreciated.
It looks like it has has booted and run cpm from one of the screens
full
of stuff.
